Summary
William Laurence was a good officer and a careful magician. In the navy, he rationed his magic with the utmost precision, ever conscious that all magicians had an upper limit: a lifetime allotment which, if exhausted, would bring inevitable and painful death. Real witches, it was always said, did not need any external stake or flame. Real witches—unwise witches—burned themselves.
Laurence was not unwise. Laurence would have been promoted to flag rank and well out of any need for magic long before he exhausted that allotment.
And then Temeraire hatched, and all of his careful plans were shattered.

Summary
Temeraire is dead.
Temeraire is dead, and Laurence’s reason for living along with him. He stumbles on, day by day, conscious of the concern of his friends and family, yet unable to care.
Until an unexpected letter leads Laurence to something even more unexpected still: a child.
What a Chinese orphan is doing on the streets of Edinburgh is anyone’s guess, including the orphan's. Tharkay, for his part, suspects foul play. Laurence can see all that is sensible in the man’s suspicions, yet once again he cannot bring himself to care. Not when the child reminds him so very strongly of that which he’s lost.

Never a Misplaced Word by Chimaera-Writes (ChimaeraKitten) for tharkayseagle

Summary
Laurence saw all of this clearly, for the moment seemed queerly slow, as if each instant were preserved as a painting in all its ponderous detail. The moment after, in contrast, was too quick to perceive. Laurence did not see Tharkay collapse, only saw him on the deck, crumpled.
Only a few weeks into the Allegiance's voyage to Australia, misfortune dealt Tharkay an injury which could easily have been fatal.

Summary
A mysterious ghost ship floating in the dark void of space. Incomprehensible voices echoing down the halls. Fluctuations in temperature. A sense that someone, out of sight, is watching you. Crew members growing paranoid and more violent than stress accounts for—others, compulsively drawing shapes that cannot exist. A dogmatic captain who insists nothing is wrong.
We all know how that story ends.
...Right?

Summary
“Okay,” said Emily, fully trying not to pinch her nose. “Okay, so you’re going to right click. No, not left, right. Yeah, on the little pencil icon. There you go. Now you just type into the box.”
“Type what?” asked Laurence.
“I don’t know. Whatever’s on your mind.”
“Currently, what is occupying me is how pointless this endeavor appears to be."
“Come on, you can think about something better than that. The story of how you found Temeraire! Weird old boat facts! What you had for dinner last night! Literally anything.”
Shoulders hunched, the man began to type slowly, ever so slowly, as if hunting for each individual key on the keyboard. From this Laurence began to write out something about the ocean currents of the South Atlantic. Despite his slow speed, it was astonishing how quickly he ran out of characters. “What does the red exclamation mark signify?”
Emily had told this man what the red exclamation mark signified. So. Many. Times. She thought he’d finally understood it eight months ago. “Are you getting worse at this?” she said. “How could you be getting worse at this?”
“Roland,” Laurence said, sounding immensely tired, “I am afraid you would not believe me even if I told you.”

Summary
The rumors regarding dragons are as multitudinous as they are lurid. Wild dragons will steal vast quantities of gold and other precious jewels from across the country and hoard it. They shall keep virgin maidens captive in their caves. Even tamed beasts will sometimes go wild, devouring innocent women and children. Dragons can take on a facsimile of human shape by consuming a man's blood.
Upon joining the Corps, Laurence is quite taken aback to find all these rumors false.
All except the last.
